Beautiful fields of summer fun flowers! We still have some zinnias blooms too.
I can't even imagine the beauty of a sunflower farm, yellow going on and on. I didn't know there was pink coreopsis. I have a hard time keeping the yellow varieties growing from year to year. I think they reseed rather than being a perennial root but I may need to do some research.
There is a huge sunflower farm at the Agricenter here - amazing to drive by and see the huge field of sunflowers (and even more amazing to walk amongst them). Love your zinnias - we tried growing a variety from seed two years ago with an epic fail. Will try again with a different variety next year.
Just beautiful! and the color combinations - don't they just inspire you?
beautiful blooms!
Lovely flowers.
Such a wonderful post Linda!! Our weather is slowly warming up now and I have a few packet of seeds ready to sow - zinnias, cosmos, hollyhocks and poppies amongst others. I've never grown sunflowers, perhaps I should try them.
Is the purple a lisianthus? Gorgeous! I had them some years ago, but had completely forgotten how lovely they were. Beautiful excursion you must have shared, and a wonderful memory you made for when the snow falls around us.
